He poured as much soup as possible down his throat, held it in until he found a large group of people.

While most college students’ weekends involve large amounts of alcohol and vomit, the strict Honor Code at Brigham Young University causes its inhabitants to find other forms of amusement.

One such activity, souping, involves skill, endurance and a couple of cans of pea soup.

Friday night, nine o’clock and the best pastime we had come up with was driving down University Avenue pretending to throw up.

Mick, a classic redneck from Kentucky, headed the operation while I drove the get away. He poured as much soup as possible down his throat, held it in until he found a large group of people and then upchucked the green substance as they watched in horror.

One can of soup left and we decided to hit up a popular ice cream shop.

The parking lot packed and the restaurant overflowing, we analyzed the lay out. The place had large glass windows that faced the main drag of Provo.

Perfect spot for maximum exposure. Mick loaded up and spotted a couple chatting at a table for two. Holding his stomach, he jumped out and ran to the window. It really was a grand performance. Pea soup sprayed across the entire window and the couple jumped back in disgust. It was only then that we realized why the restaurant was so busy.

Standing there, eying Mick contemptuously was football great and BYU alumni Steve Young.

Mick, a fan, shrank back, mortified. He ran to the car, and we drove off, laughing hysterically at Mick’s encounter with his favorite sports icon.
